“…The CÐN bond lengths in the B ring are in agreement with values observed for related structures (Gunasekaran et al, 1996;Ganesh et al, 1998;Subbiah Pandi et al, 2001;Jeyakanthan et al, 2000Jeyakanthan et al, , 2002. The average NÐC [1.451 (5) A Ê ] and CÐC [1.489 (6) A Ê ] bond lengths in the piperazine ring agree well with those reported in the literature (Perales et al, 1977;Yogavel et al, 2002). The sum of the bond angles around N10 [359.6 (3) ] and N26 [359.9 (4) ] con®rm the sp 2 hybridization of these atoms; the angles around the atom N23 sum to 333.7 (3) , which is indicative of sp 3 hybridization.…”
